Nutidens Kina gennem en dansk kameralinse

Rejsedokumentarserien “Anne og Anders i Kina” i tre afsnit, som DR for nylig har vist, har vakt stor opmærksomhed blandt danske seere.

Serien blev sendt på DR1 og DRTV fra den 20. september til den 4. oktober. Gennem to kendte danske værters besøg forskellige steder i Kina skildrer den landets udvikling, kultur og befolkningens hverdagsliv.

I serien besøger værterne Anne Hjernøe og Anders Agger blandt andet Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing og Beijing.

Fra moderne storbyer til traditionelle teplantager, fra gader og lokalsamfund til historiske seværdigheder skildrer de Kinas mangfoldige samfundsliv og kulturlandskaber med rejseoplevelser og personlige fortællinger som den røde tråd.

I Shanghai og Hangzhou bevæger de to værter sig mellem by og land og oplever, hvordan en digitaliseret hverdag og traditionel tekultur eksisterer side om side.

I Chengdu og Chongqing besøger de levesteder for kæmpepandaer samt lokalsamfund og landsbyer, hvor de oplever det sydvestlige Kinas særlige natur og kultur.

I Beijing retter kameraet blikket mod livet i hutongerne og Den Kinesiske Mur og viser samspillet mellem den historiske kulturarv og den moderne byudvikling.

Serien dokumenterer også flere møder mellem kinesere og danskere.

De to værter interviewer kinesiske læsere med interesse for dansk børnelitteratur og besøger en naturbørnehave for at få indblik i, hvordan dansk småbørnspædagogik anvendes i Kina, og hvilke udvekslinger der finder sted på området.

Gennem almindelige menneskers fortællinger giver serien et levende billede af den kulturelle kontakt mellem de to lande.

Kina opleves gennem autentiske møder, og kulturer forbindes gennem menneskers fortællinger.

Med sin hverdagsnære fortælleform giver “Anne og Anders i Kina” den danske offentlighed et nyt perspektiv på nutidens Kina og viser samtidig den stadig tættere kulturudveksling og gensidige forståelse mellem de to landes befolkninger.

Ifølge Producentforeningens seertal for september 2026, baseret på Nielsens seermålinger, nåede det mest sete afsnit af “Anne og Anders i Kina” op på 606.000 seere, hvilket placerede programmet som nummer otte blandt månedens tv-programmer.

Som en vigtig platform for kulturudveksling mellem Kina og Danmark arbejder Kinesiske Kulturcenter i København løbende med kulturudveksling og turismefremme for at skabe flere muligheder for, at den danske befolkning kan få et dybere kendskab til Kina.

Interesserede medieorganisationer, uafhængige indholdsskabere, rejsebloggere og influencere er velkomne til at kontakte os for sammen med os at udforske Kina og få indblik i landets kultur og hverdagsliv.

From September 15 to 21, four Danish travel industry and media representatives, recommended by the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen, joined 27 colleagues from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Sweden on a seven-day Silk Road tour of Gansu Province.
Following the historic Hexi Corridor, the group travelled from Lanzhou to Zhangye, Jiayuguan and Dunhuang, discovering the region’s rich Silk Road heritage, diverse cultural traditions and striking landscapes.
The programme opened in Lanzhou with a tourism promotion event hosted by the Gansu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism. Local tourism authorities and leading travel agencies introduced a range of cultural attractions, travel experiences and tailor-made itineraries for European visitors, while also discussing opportunities for future cooperation with the participating travel professionals and media.
The group’s itinerary combined cultural experiences with opportunities to see Gansu from a local perspective. In Lanzhou, they visited the Gansu Provincial Museum, took an evening cruise on the Yellow River, experienced a traditional sheepskin raft and tried their hand at making Lanzhou beef noodles.
Travelling west along the Hexi Corridor, they explored Zhangye’s Giant Buddha Temple and Rainbow Danxia, as well as the historic Jiayuguan Fortress. In Dunhuang, highlights included the Mogao Caves, Yumen Pass, the Singing Sand Dunes and Crescent Moon Spring, and Yadan National Geopark. The group also visited Shazhou Night Market and experienced the traditional craft of movable-type printing.

On September 18, at the invitation of International School of Hellerup in Copenhagen, the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen joined the school's International Day and introduced students to the art of Chinese calligraphy.

For the children, Chinese characters were new and fascinating. They had the chance to hold a calligraphy brush for the first time, dip it in ink and write on traditional Chinese rice paper. With guidance from the staff, they learned how to hold the brush, use ink and make their first strokes.

The children were curious and asked many questions about Chinese characters and calligraphy. Some were careful with their first strokes, while others quickly became confident and enjoyed trying out the brush. The excitement on their faces was clear when they successfully wrote their first Chinese character.

Panda gifts were also prepared for the children as a small reward. They happily showed each other their calligraphy and took home a special memory of Chinese culture.

Through this hands-on experience, the children discovered that Chinese calligraphy is not only a way of writing, but also an important part of Chinese culture and art. They experienced the beauty of Chinese characters through every stroke and developed a greater interest in Chinese culture.

Cultural exchange does not always need a big stage. A brush, a piece of rice paper and a group of curious children can also become a bridge between cultures. Through this school activity, the China Cultural Center brought Chinese culture closer to young people in Denmark and other different countries in a simple, fun and engaging way.

On September 8, the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen, with the support of the China International Culture Association, presented “New Oriental Chinese Music Scene – Chinese Traditional Music Concert” as part of its Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations. The concert took place in the historic building that once housed the Royal Danish Academy of Music.

H.E. Wang Xuefeng, Ambassador of China to Denmark, and his wife Tong Xin, former Danish Ambassador Leif Dunde, former Chairman of the OECD Education Committee and Denmark’s Representative to UNESCO Torben Kronbech Rasmussen, together with guests from Danish political, cultural, educational and media circles, attended the concert.

In his address, Ambassador Wang Xuefeng highlighted the Mid-Autumn Festival as a symbol of reunion, harmony and hope for a better life. He expressed the hope that culture could build bridges and music could serve as a common language between the peoples of China and Denmark.

Following welcoming remarks by Mu Xianghong, Director of the China Cultural Center in Copenhagen, the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra, one of China’s leading professional traditional music ensembles, presented a rich and diverse programme.

The concert featured Chinese flute and p**a performances, as well as works including The Spirit of Chinese Calligraphy, The Spirit of Langya, Farewell My Concubine and Sword Dance, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Chinese traditional music.

A special interpretation of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee demonstrated how Chinese traditional instruments can give a familiar Western melody a distinctive Eastern character.

For the encore, the orchestra performed the beloved Danish song Pjerrot siger til månen (Pjerrot Says to the Moon), creating an immediate connection with the Danish audience.

The moon, a central symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival, became a shared image between the two cultures. Different traditions, yet universal emotions, came together through music.

The concert concluded with a third standing ovation and prolonged applause, marking a memorable evening of cultural exchange and friendship between China and Denmark.
